Edgemaster fishtail with purple swirl synthetic scales made by the Federal Knife Co of Providence, RI in the late 40s, or early 1950s. This knife was designated the model #301 and measures 4 inches closed and 7 1/8" open with brass liners. The blade is nearly full with light patina and some light peppering and is stamped Edgemaster USA. The attractive purple scales are in great condition with some shrinkage. The knife functions good with blade tip seating deep, good snap and stays open, but doesn't lock. You can close the knife without pressing the button. The knife does not rattle if shaken when open as most of these old 50s American switchblades do that have been used over the years. The safety works. Overall a nice working example of a 50s vintage American made fishtail switchblade.
